Baby quilt
I’ve just completed this cot-sized quilt for my cousin’s baby, due next week.
Let’s hope that they don’t read my blog! They are having a girl, which made it pretty easy for me since my stash is full of floral prints. The chenille squares came from Jodie, as usual!
It’s backed with soft flannellette, and has pellon batting in the centre. I have a few of these quilts, and use them mostly as floor mats. The batting just makes them a little softer, and it washes well.
I really like the variety of textures in the chenille, and the beautiful soft colour combinations it provides.
I think that’s the last baby quilt for some time, thankfully – I’ve made about six now!
Beautiful quilt! I love how the chenille looks.
Very fun. Looks so soft!
Oh the chenille!!!! I want, I want, I want! I really like the combinations of texture in this beautiful baby quilt, Lara. What a lovely gift to welcome a wee one into the world.
I love the chenille baby qult! I ordered some cotton chenille squares online, but this will be my first attempt with chenille. How wide are your seams, and do you preshrink chenille?
